• Architect and design robust Linux-based systems for automotive control units (ECUs) and infotainment systems.
• Define and develop middleware components to enable seamless integration between hardware abstraction layers, applications, and services.
• Implement and optimize IPC mechanisms (e.g., D-Bus, sockets, shared memory, binder, etc.) to support real-time, secure, and reliable communication across system components.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and systems teams to ensure end-to-end platform integration.
• Evaluate and select appropriate open-source or commercial software stacks for middleware and IPC needs.
• Drive performance optimization, power management strategies, and system stability improvements.
• Ensure compliance with automotive standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, MISRA).
